Atomic Dog Lyrics by George Clinton

Computer Games

1982

[Intro]
Yeah, this is a story of famous dogs
For the dog that chases its tail will be busy
These are clapping dogs, rhythmic dogs
Harmonic dogs, house dogs, street dogs
Dogs of the world unite
Dancin' dogs, yeah, countin' dogs
Funky dogs, nasty dogs (Dog)
(Atomic dog, atomic dog)

[Refrain]
(Life on all fours) Yeah, life on all fours
(When you're out there on the street)
When they're out there walkin' the streets
(May compete, nothin' but the dog in ya)
May compete, oh, the dog in ya
(Bow-wow-wow, yippie-yo, yippie-yay)
(Bow-wow, yippie-yo, yippie-yay)
(Bow-wow-wow, yippie-yo, yippie-yay)
(Bow-wow, yippie-yo, yippie-yay)

[Verse 1]
(Life on all fours) Un-tied dog in a telematic society
(When you're out there on the street)
Ain't your average Huckleberry Hound
(May compete, nothin' but the dog in ya)
Why must I feel like that?
Ah, why must I chase the cat?

[Refrain]
(Life on all fours) Oh, the dog in me
(When you're out there on the street)
(May compete, nothin' but the dog in ya)
Roof, roof, roof

[Chorus]
Why must I feel like that?
Why must I chase the cat?
Nothin' but the dog in me
(Nothin' but the dog in me)
Why must I feel like that?
Why must I chase the cat?
Nothin' but the dog in me
(Nothin', nothin' but the dog in me)
Why must I feel like that?
Why must I chase the cat?
Nothin' but the dog in me
(Why must I feel like that?)
(Why must I chase the cat?)
(Nothin' but the dog in me)

[Verse 2]
Do the dogcatcher, dogcatcher
Do the dogcatcher
(Do the dogcatcher, dogcatcher)
(Do the dogcatcher)
Dog, dog, dog (Do the dogcatcher)
(Baby, do the dogcatcher, ooh)

[Chorus]
Why must I feel like that?
Why must I chase the cat?
Nothin' but the dog in me
(Why must I feel like that?)
(Why must I chase the cat?)
(Nothin' but the dog in me)

[Bridge]
(Bow-wow-wow, yippie-yo, yippie-yay)
Bow-wow-wow, yippie-yo, yippie-yay
Bow-wow, yippie-yo, yippie-yay
(Bow-wow, yip-yippie-yippie-yo, yippie-yay)
(Just walkin' the dog)
Oh, atomic dog
Futuristic bow-wow

[Instrumental Break]
Yeah, leader of the pack
Wild dog

[Chorus]
(Why must I feel like that?)
(Why must I chase the cat?)
Just the dog in me
Nothin' but the dog in me
(Why must I feel like that?)
(Why must I chase that cat?)
Just the dog in me
Nothin' but the dog in me
(Why must I feel like that?)
(Why must I chase the cat?)
Just the dog in me
(The dog in me) Dog is in me
Talkin' dogs (Dog's in me)

[Outro]
(Dogcatcher, dogcatcher)
(Do the dogcatcher)
Do you wanna do the dogcatcher?
Well, then why don't you do it again for me?
(Do the dogcatcher, dogcatcher)
House-trained dogs (Do the dogcatcher)
Wild dogs (Say it again)
(Why must I feel like that?)
(Why must I chase the cat?)
Turkey dogs
